Quote: Juan Cornetto "I cannot believe there are still some calling for Mac to go!
He has consistently produced the goods when it mattered and for most of his time has had an aging squad deteriorating physically year on year. With very limited recruitment he has managed to squeeze the best out of the squad and at the same time integrate some of the younger players and improve others (eg Mullally). He favours an off the cuff attacking style which is dependent on the players match day form and when it clicks is very attractive.
So Brian has earned the right to leave the club when it suits him and I am sure he will win us more trophies over the next years playing attractive rugby. So you knockers why not get behind him for change.'"
In the past, I have not been the biggest fan of Mac's coaching or style of play. We have been inconsistent, rarely look fluent in attack, struggle to create chances in the opposition 20 and some of the tactics have been bewildering (I don't by this "scenario preparation BS).
Regardless of the foregoing, he is in a results driven business and, despite my strong desire to provide testimony to the contrary, I would much rather win a trophy after a questionable season, than play like demigods without winning anything of note. On that basis, I will be his biggest cheerleader from now on.
